New cycling event in Dadlington

A new cycling event is coming to Dadlington on Sunday.

Lanequest is a sport which combines both cycling and map reading. Competitors must reach as many checkpoints within a three hour limit, with points being awarded for each point reached, and points being deducted for things such as lateness. The rider with the most points ultimately wins the event.

The event is open to all ages, although under-16s must be accompanied by an adult, with prizes for the highest scoring rider, age group winners, and winners in male and female competitions.

To enter you need a roadworthy bike, a helment and a basic ability to read a map. Registration for the event will be held at the Village Hall between 8.30am and 10am with an aim to start between 9am and 10.30am. Go to www.midlandsmbo.co.uk or www.bmbo.org.uk
